The reinforcements led by the Dark Maple Dragonfly King arrived, advancing from the west and east with the Fourth and Fifth Group Armies under the leadership of Mountain Pepper, Bloodvine, Sedge, and Azure Mica, systematically eliminating the remaining Stone Hunt Blue Ants on the island.

An unprecedentedly perilous battle that took all the insects by surprise.

The Blue Island army came fiercely, but it ended abruptly with the fall of a seven-hundred-meter Kirin Beast.

Insect Clan warriors proficient in flying communicated back and forth, gathering statistics on battle casualties of each legion.

The First, Second, and Third Group Armies retreated, reorganizing their middle and inner defensive lines, reassigning defensive tasks, and preparing for battle.

Another army of termites, responsible for logistics, cleaned the battlefield.

They severed the heads of Stone Hunt Blue Ant corpses, piling them into twenty-two tall mounds on the western beach of the island.

Stone columns interspersed, suspending high the three Ant King heads, five Sea God Horn Beetle Warrior heads, and fourteen Assistant King heads.

A display of deterrence by hanging the heads.

In the nature of ants, bees, and termites, there exists a warlike and cruel side.

The Stone Hunt Blue Ants prey on other Insect Clans.

Six Shield Spotted Bee Warriors, with carapaces covered in ornate Sea Blue swirl patterns, busily flew around, continually landing on the fallen of the allied army.

They were poisoning.

The toxin of the Shield Spotted Bee Warriors was colorless, tasteless, and lethal...

...

The Whirl Beast transformed, camouflaging as a dark night cloud, hovering high in the sky.

Ink Orchid reformed a Little Ink Orchid, striving to recover Primordial Energy in preparation for the uncertain outbreak of the next major battle.

Dragon Cypress, Cypress, and Silver Cypress took turns using their Scorching Ability, gazing toward the western sea area of the island.

The Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army, led by a kilometer-long Kirin Beast, gathered around the reefs, remaining still, with unknown intentions.

Dragon Cypress was also contemplating, reflecting on the previous battle.

Practicing a hundred thousand times and deducing a million possibilities is not as good as real combat once.

In the actual combat against the seven-hundred-meter Kirin Beast, Dragon Cypress discovered numerous issues:

First, the Kirin Beast directly immune to the hallucination effects of the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm and Nosh Remnants. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After much thought, it was realized that the Hallucination Ability is a kind of Water System Energy Field, and the Kirin Beast itself possesses a powerful Water System Energy Field; the two energy fields counteract each other, strongly suppressing the Heavenly Frost Remnants Realm and Nosh Remnants, rendering them useless.

These two abilities, which Dragon Cypress had high hopes for, turned out to be ineffective against the Kirin Beast in combat.

On the contrary, the previously underestimated Explosive Jet proved remarkably effective.

Second, in its Ice State, the Kirin Beast possesses an exceptionally strong defense, even resisting the perception of the Soul-Setting Ability. In other forms, it possesses a Water System Defense Ability similar to a 'Hydrology Shield', which, although fragile, can still offer temporary protection.

Conversely, the Whirl Beast has weak defense in Ice State, lacking a fused defensive ability, putting it at a disadvantage in close combat.

The Whirl Beast still needs further improvement.

Integrating the Hydrology Shield into the Whirl Beast's devouring? Time- and labor-intensive, with very limited enhancement.

Dragon Cypress needs a strong Water System Defense Ability.

Third, in melee combat, the devouring abilities countered each other; the kilometer-long Whirl Beast barely fought to a draw with the seven-hundred-meter Kirin Beast, even slightly at a disadvantage~

These are supposed to be the strongest techniques of Whirl Beast Devouring and Sea Beast Devouring, urgently needing optimization and enhancement!

Fourth, that kilometer-long Kirin Beast integrated some kind of flight-type Wind System Ability, and its speed when fleeing was truly fast...

Dragon Cypress, at the 3rd Age Period as the Insect King, primarily focused on flight abilities.

The first Wind System Divine Mark Ability is a combination of abilities: Wind Wings, Poaceae, Airflow Control, and Restless Wind, constructing a more powerful enhanced flying ability covering four wings.

The name remains 'Wind Wings'.

First, concentrate on forming a single Divine Mark, ensuring it is passed on to the Wind System Air Soldiers and Flying Ants, then integrate it into the Whirl Beast to boost the speed of the Whirl Beast in Cloud Mist State...

"Dragon Cypress Ant King!"

A Twelve-Spotted Dragonfly rose vertically into the sky, appearing among the clouds.

Bluing, the confidant by the side of the Dark Maple Dragonfly King, was responsible for delivering confidential messages.

Dragon Cypress gently moved its tentacles, activating the Nightfall Ability, enveloping it within.

Bluing reported enthusiastically, "The battle losses have been tallied. On the side of the allied forces, eleven Insect Kings and nineteen Assistant Kings unfortunately perished, and the ant and bee forces suffered nearly six million losses. This was mainly due to the two Kirin Beasts leading the main force landing unexpectedly from the west coast, catching us off guard, and nearly all coastal defense points were destroyed, resulting in significant losses."

"However, Blue Island didn't fare well either, losing three Ant Kings, five Sea God Horn Beetle Warriors, and fourteen Assistant Kings, with over four million troops lost."

Bluing continued, with excitement in his voice, "Dragon Cypress Ant King, you slew an Ant King who had mastered the Sea Beast Devouring Ability called 'Ying'. This is an unprecedented achievement in the battle between Wave Tree Bay and Blue Island. With the precedent of 'Eddy Scorpionfish Ant King', everyone always thought 'Ying' was invincible. Dragon Cypress Ant King, you have shattered this preconceived notion."

Dragon Cypress calmly nodded its tentacles without much comment.

Ink Orchid asked, "The Stone Hunt Blue Ant Army has yet to retreat, do they plan to organize a second offensive?"

Bluing: "It's uncertain. This war is unlike any before; the Stone Hunt Blue Ants have plotted for untold years, originally planning to annihilate all allied forces stationed at Yu'e Island, including the five leaders. But now, their plans have fallen apart, and they've lost a Kirin Beast Ant King, with the hidden Kirin Beast Ant King also exposed. They are likely furious, saddened, and confused about their next move. They're daunted by the extraordinary strength of Dragon Cypress Ant King as they contemplate attacking the island. Yet, retreating..."

Bluing wavered its tentacles, and although a hint of joyous emotion was present in its tone, due to the war's brutality and the tremendous casualties on their side, it refrained from showing it overtly, instead shifting the conversation:
